Bob Purdie on Ireland- Remembering The Officials

At the Molehill we were very pleased to be contacted by Bob Purdie (pictured addressing a haggis) who did much to develop the line of Red Mole and the IMG in the early 1970s. Whilst Bob’s own politics have moved on a bit since then, he is happy for us to reproduce this article he wrote in 2006.

This has also prompted us to add (what we hope will become) a series of pages to this site drawing together some of the memoirs and contributions of the early members of the IMG/FI and related bodies. See the ‘People’ section to the right.

In the signs that bewilder the middle class, the aristocracy and the poor prophets of regression, we do recognise our brave friend, Robin Goodfellow, the old mole that can work in the earth so fast, that worthy pioneer — the Revolution.
